Baked Semolina Cake: A Savory Crisp Snack

Inspired by Anjum Anand’s (a UK based Celebrity Chef) show, I was tempted to try out her Semolina Cake. I’ve made a few additions/deletions in the ingredients so I will give you my version of it. I made a pretty flat cake; around 2 inches thick and the outcome was a crisp delicious snack. You can try out a thick loaf if you want to. It’s a quick fix recipe and though I tried it at a whim, luckily I had all the ingredients I wanted. I’ve added only peas to this dish, but feel free to add any vegetable including, potato, onions, beans, cabbage, etc. Ingredients:

1 cup semolina (rava)

2 tbsp curd/yoghurt

2 tbsp fresh green peas

1 tsp ginger-garlic paste

1 tsp red chili powder

Salt

2 pinch turmeric powder

A little water

1 tsp mustard seeds

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp sesame seeds

1 tbsp oil

½ tsp baking powder

Method:

Preheat the oven to 200C

In a large bowl, mix together the semolina, curd, peas, ginger-garlic paste, chili powder, turmeric and salt to make a thick batter.

Add some water and stir well

Heat some oil in a pan and add the mustard, cumin and sesame seeds till they splutter

Add this to the batter and stir well

Add baking powder and again mix thoroughly

Grease a baking dish with some oil/ghee and pour the batter into it

Bake for 30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean
